update_year
Send the current year number to the control system.
- Arguments:
- (none)
- Context:
- Every second the real-time cpu reads the date and time from a GPS
time-code-reader. Unfortunately this doesn't include the year
number, so at startup this information is automatically sent to
the control system by the control program, using the year read
from the control-sun clock. Thereafter at the start of a new
year, the control system should either be restarted, or the
update_year
command should be invoked. In either
case the year to be sent will be deduced from the control-sun
clock, so be sure that the control sun's clock has rolled over in
UTC before running this command.
